” And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.”
1 John 3:23
The bible says in Gal 5:6, “For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.” In other words,”The law of the New Creation” is Faith, which worketh by love. According to the New Testament, there is nothing that you can do by faith and love that can be a SIN. Unlike in the Old Testament , both Faith and Love are built in our recreated human spirits. Rom 5:5 says, “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” and Rom 12:3 say “according as God hath dealt to every man (among you) the measure of faith. ”
God has never asked us to do anything that he knows we can’t. God never said we should treat people well if they treat us well. In relating with God, with one another as saints and with the with sinners, LOVE should take center stage. Jesus loved us before we had done anything good, and it’s his same love in our hearts today. That means we can love bad folks. If you ever find yourself in bitterness, you are not walking in love, and you don’t have to pray to God to give you love because you already have it in you if you are born again. Most WARS between Nations, Friends, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, workmates, classmates, pastor, and congregation, most of them wars and fightings are inspired by hate. Walking in love will heal all of them without struggle.
Word spoken by love and words heard by love will make the difference in our world. Sometimes people speak wrongly, and many times, people hear wrongly because they have not trained themselves to walk in love. This is what breaks marriages and families. Words are the most effective tools of communication, words which communicate love can fix your relationships and words of hate can break anything good amongst the unlearned. Among the learned, no amount of hate can quench our love. If you change your vocabulary and fill it with new words of love, you will live an excellent life. Your relationships will be something you enjoy.
